Eschenbach Optik (Germany) Magnifying Glasses

Technology:
All magnifiers are not the same. They vary based on their power, lens type, and design purpose. All 3 optical magnifiers presented here are considered as spectacles and telescopic devices. Each type of magnifier is designed to offer different benefits and distinct applications.

Power:
The power of a magnifier can be measured several ways. The most common, "times magnification" or "power", refers to how many times bigger an object will appear when viewed through the device as compared to when viewed with the naked eye. The "X" notation on many magnifiers gives the manufacturer's representation as to the power provided by a given device.

Diopter:
A "diopter" is another term that refers to the magnifying power of a device. A diopter is a metric measurement of the lens power. This is a unit of measure that your eye doctor uses when prescribing eyeglasses or contact lenses. The power of agnifying spectacles can be measured or represented in diopters or "times magnification". [While ’X’ power measurements vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, diopters do NOT vary.]

Be careful though! Stronger does not mean better! There is a "right" power for each individual and the task they wish to accomplish. This is a process that your Low Vision Specialist is uniquely qualified to determine.

Don’t rush out and spend thousands on a large screen TV - try the MaxTV first! Double the size & see more high definition details of your widescreen HDTV & aquarium today, while minimizing radiation exposure.	You know how frustrating it can be, when you're out at the theatre or at a musical and you're sitting too far away to be able to enjoy the action on the stage. When you wear the MAXEvent telescopic glasses, you will positively feel close to the action! MaxEvent will maximize your individual visual experience, you will be able to see indoor and outdoor events occurring in your daily lives with crispier and clearer vision! Ideal for sports events, concerts, movies, theatre, bird watching, and even stadium events - MAXEvent glasses are similar to MaxTV glasses except that the MAXEvent glasses feature a mirrored coating that has been applied to the lenses by a process called vapor deposition. The mirrored coating eliminates sun glare and ensures that ‘enlarged eyes’ of the wearer are not visible to the external observer.	Perhaps you know the problem all too well... You need to use both hands when you're working with delicate components and could do with a third hand to hold the magnifying glass so that you can see the small details. With MaxDetail you can keep both hands free because these magnifying spectacles are worn just like normal glasses. Do you have trouble reading books, newspapers, the print on computer screens, labels on medicine bottles, ingredients on food packages, train schedules, recipes, menus in restaurants, or your mail? Eschenbach has manufactured a new product that will take the effort out of all of these activities and make them as easy to do as they once were. Introducing MAXDetail glasses! These glasses will focus on near objects with working distances of 16 inches and are perfect for any near viewing activity where a magnified image is helpful. Also great for handheld video gaming like Sony PSP, Nintendo DS, Game Boy, iPOD Video, or any electronic device w/ displays including eBooks, PDA, etc. New for 2010! MaxDetail Clip - It has many of the same features as the popular MaxDetail (2x magnification, hands-free design, large working distance, wide field of view, etc.), but its clip-on design allows patients to incorporate their correction so they can view a crystal clear, magnified image. The MaxDetail Clip has a number of features that maximize its usefulness. First, there are 5 vertical lens heights from which to choose that assures correct pupil alignment. Second, the convenient hinged clip mechanism allows the lenses to be flipped up out of the way when not in use. Third, rubber-covered “jaws” prevent the clip from scratching your patient’s eyewear. Best of all, the MaxDetail Clip provides the most valued benefit of a near Galilean telescopic system: a long working distance. A comparably powered spectacle solution provides about 5” working distance, whereas the MaxDetail Clip provides a 16” working distance—about 3 times the distance! Your patients will be able to hold their reading material or other near objects at 16” and still get 2x magnification! The MaxDetail Clip is ideal for reading books or newspapers, the print on computer screens, or other extended near tasks.
